Inspired by videography, but not the content?

Unless they filmed it through some AI filter that turns everyone into a giant cartoon clam, I can think of few things more boring than watching a video of dressed up rich people trying to impress each other and a tiny tyrant handing out gaudy trophies.

Remember when they used to bang on about the wonders of practising Scientology, and introducing newbies to it?

Now, it's like a pyramid scheme get-together, which doesn't even mention the nominal products - except it's all about giving money, not making it.

Weirdest of all is how Scientologists don't do Scientology any more.

The 'practice of Scientology' is always (mysteriously) linked to raising money for an unknown destination. The rest is accessory and essential for the aforementioned.

Maybe its the highest number ever because they are acknowledging everyone who contributed since the shut down. What is that, 4 or 5 years of donations packed into one event?

This is Scientology BS PR at its finest.

Sunny good point.

Scientology PR=PROPAGANDA pure and simple.

Part of their highest evers might include Patron With Honors($100k) so that would add a lot of Patrons Ball attendees.

I applaud Tom Cruise for rewarding attendees with his presence. His gladhanding encourages the big bucks zombies whose only claim to fame is an inflated bank account or huge credit card limit. And now they get a photo with the movie star shill.

This years IAS gathering at St. Hill should have been called FLEECE THE SHEEP - 2023.

I’m sorry I won’t be able to attend the New York org showing of the Patrons Ball Saturday night.

I’ll be attending the Dances With Films Festival(in the top 10 indie film festivals ) in NYC at Union Square for our documentary BROTHERS BROKEN. The film has been getting the word out through our unique story: “Rock and Roll Triumphs Over the Cult of Scientology”.

'More patrons then ever'... So how low was the threshold set? Did the family that went without food for a month get a bowling trophy? Or the old man who signed over his estate to the Clampire get a nod too? Not even the mafia celebrates asset striping.

I do hope that all those tabloids that printed the 'Tom Cruise is Leaving $cienoville' stories retract those 'stories' and never, ever publish anything from TCs 'reputation managers' again.

I wonder who is going to repair all of Tom Cruise's "grade chart" auditing which Tom received from Marty Rathbun?

What this means is that all of the OT 5 auditing which Tom received from Marty (OT 5 exorcism that is) all has to be reviewed and possibly corrected by another auditor/exorcist someday.

Tom in the photos looks pretty charming and happy to be among the Scientologists. Maybe he's more normal and less brainwashed, and not caught up in the backfiring ramifications of all the bad auditing he's received from Marty Rathbun.

Maybe he doesn't really care about his case, good for him, it's all ballocks anyways, so the sooner he disengages from putting much importance on his "case", the better.

He looks pretty okay happy in the photo.

if he did get cleanup auditing to repair/review what Marty gave him, I wonder who did it.

As you know well, pampering Tom is pampering the organization.

That announcement from $cn reminds me of fundraising letters from Rapist P01135809.....

Yes, Scientology has no problem spending millions to corrupt people to do their dirty work and attacks on their perceived enemy’s.
